March On With Mentor Text Prize Winners Post
FINALLY! As we all know despite our best-laid plans, life can get in the way – that’s how this year has played out for me. So despite all that, and having the current situation of packing up my Florida home and moving, I’ve finally managed to tackle the prizes for March On With Mentor Texts. Whew! Thank you everyone for your patience and understanding.
If anyone is unable to redeem a prize because of this late notice and the availability of the author, I will happily offer the choice of a Rate Your Story Speedpass (www.rateyourstory.org/speed-pass)
Or a one-half hour Zoom session with me (Lynne Marie) / The Picture Book Mechanic (www.thepicturebookmechanic.com). Below is a little bit about me to help you decide.
NOTE: Please e-mail me at RYS.CyberOffice@gmail.com to claim your prize with the appropriate information, and I will connect you with the Author. If the prize is a RYS Speedpass or Zoom with the Picture Book Mechanic, you need only to follow the directions provided at the end of this e-mail.
